Most people consider diet exercise, or supplements when it comes to taking care of their health. However, there is another system called the Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) that is usually ignored, yet it is equally important for your lymphatic system. This soft, expert massage is used to cleanse the body, enhance circulation, and turbocharge your immune system.
We provide professional MLD services at VL Therapy that will make your body work to the best of its ability. These are five potent and unexpected advantages of lymphatic drainage that can assist you in maintaining a potent and strong immune system.
The initial defence against disease is your lymphatic system. It carries white blood cells in the body and sieves pathogens. However, the lymphatic system lacks a pump as your heart does; instead, it is dependent on movement, breath, and massage to continue its circulation.
This flow is stimulated by manual lymphatic drainage that assists white blood cells to circulate better. This makes your immune system respond quicker, i.e., your body is able to recognise and attack infections.
When the flow of lymph is slow, toxins and metabolic waste accumulate in your tissues. It may cause fatigue, inflammation, and a poor immune system.
Lymphatic drainage promotes detoxification by draining away unwanted fluid, waste and toxins. The result? A leaner, more effective immune system that can be left to do its job of keeping you safe against viruses and bacteria.
Continuous low-grade inflammation may exhaust the immune system and is associated with a number of health problems, such as autoimmune diseases and frequent infections.
The MLD (manual lymphatic drainage) therapy is useful in reducing this inflammation because it enhances the lymphatic flow that removes the inflammatory by-products in the tissues. After only a few sessions, many clients at VL Therapy report that they feel less swollen, less puffy, lighter, and healthier.
If you are convalescing after an illness, or an operation, or you simply feel drained, manual lymphatic drainage will make your body recover more quickly. It enhances blood and lymph circulation, helps to reduce edema, and assists in the restoration of tissue by accelerating the elimination of waste and extracellular fluid.
MLD is particularly advisable after surgery to help in minimizing bruising and speeding up recovery. Our sessions at VL Therapy are tailored to the post-operative requirements, and the highest level of comfort is maintained.
Did you know that much of your immune system resides in your intestines? Your lymphatic system is directly linked to your digestive system, especially via organs such as Peyer's patches in the small intestine, which scan and react against pathogens.
Abdominal area lymphatic drainage massage contributes to the reduction of bloating, digestive processes, and immune surveillance. The healthier your gut, the better your whole immune system will perform.
VL Therapy specialises in Manual Lymphatic Drainage in a professional setting with trained therapists in a relaxing atmosphere. Our sessions are tailored to support your body in whatever you are trying to achieve, whether it is to support your immune system, reduce inflammation, or recover after surgery.
